Currently restoring a '71 Cutlass Supreme convertible---getting ready to tear out the interior and have two looming issues: Years ago I busted the door off the center console by leaning over on it too hard---the hinge ripped of where it screws into the console, effectively destroying it. Do I have to replace the whole console? Or just the box (it looks like two pieces). Either way OPG, Fusick, etc. don't have replacements for the '71 (auto). Any ideas?
Waterproof issue---when it rains, I get water literally pooling in the front floor pan, mainly passenger side. The convert top does not appear to leak, so I figure it's going down the inside of the door or behind the dash. Much thanks to any help!
